We need a backup quarterback!

[Pigskin]

I think it's smart to bring in a couple of QBs.

[blue_or_die]

I think Dolegala is our best option.

Wilson can handle short yardage, Scott is a better fit to compete for a starters role down the line.  I really did not like Dolegala in any of his games this year, he looked horrible.  And at 6'7, I'm not sure that alone makes him better in short yardage than Wilson.  BC let him go, keeping Brice.

I think we should go to FB for SY before bringing in a Dolegala for SY.

If they do sign him to the AR, I hope that I am proved wrong, but I think Scott is a more interesting prospect.

Someone else pointed out in another thread he's already 29. I think we're still looking or long term options. But that's next's year's problem anyway.

He can surely handle the SY duties, so I agree.

It wouldn't be the worst idea using a FB that had some athletic skill. OTOH, we don't have a healthy one available and both are new to the roster this year.

Feltmate seems to be more of a defensive and ST player so I wouldn't think he'd do well in that role.

Chris-Ike might do alright but that's an unknown.

I agree that Scott might be a better option as # 2 in the longer term. However, Dolegala has the most current experience actually playing rather than just on the bench.

In the immediate term, Wilson is going to be the # 2 this week. Someone has to learn the playbook and develops chemistry with the offence.

Hard to say who adapts the quickest but I'd have to think Dolegala will do that for the 2nd game against the Elks.

Just a guess at the moment. Wilson could surprise us if he's called into action early.

Hoping Maier or BLM become available. Dolegala has proven to be a statue in the pocket. I mean, it could be worse, but could be better...

Hard pass on both.  Unless you have a time machine to return them to their past playing days. Not sure what Maier is suffering from, but he's been going downhill since they moved on from BLM.  And BLM, well...

[BlueInCgy]

And BLM, well...

...is only the leading passer in the league and has 3X the passing TDs than ZC.

And an ego and a chip on his shoulder, and given the chance to prove it, would likely absolutely slay.  Think Burris in the Ottawa GC only better.

Yeah, we definitely shouldn't make a play for him.

He must have winked at a lot of posters GFs...

[TBURGESS]

No one is trading their 2nd string QB or even their 3rd stringer to us. We need to pick from the QB's who aren't signed ATM.

See Bryan Scott thread.  Not official yet...

Buddy said "Radio said they are on there way to try out. I took that as they only plan on signing 1. They could be wrong"

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

See no point in signing both, can't play both and don't need 4 QB's, pick the better fit of the two and stick with the plan.

You have to sign them to try them out. One may only last a week on the PR or may both may get a little longer. A final decision doesn't have to happen in a short time.
